Date: Wednesday August 24th, 2011 (Rain Date: August 31st)
Time: 5:30pm to “Whenever we’re done”
Location: Empire Dragway - http://www.empiredragway.com/
Cost: $10 to race or watch, paid at the gate.

Note: This is NOT Lucky’s! Some of you will need a HELMET, a CAGE and all will need to PASS TECH in order to race!

This will be our 2nd-to-last drag day this season and we’ll be going back to Lucky’s in September.

Come on out and watch me fall asleep at the tree, but still run a faster time than 1QUIKZ :slight_smile: (His call-out thread: http://www.nyspeed.com/showthread.php?223425 )

And see Choda vs 38stang’s all motor race.

We can all meet somewhere at and drive to the track. Would you guys rather take 20A or I-90?

If you’d like to be part of this, please use the ‘Marketplace’ tab (next to ‘What’s New’) above and register for our headcount. Once registered your username will appear in this post below and on our list. Our registration is NOT payment for the event.

I’d prefer to take highway as much as possible, but majority rules on this one.

Also, if the gates open at 5:30pm will most of you guys be able to get there at that time? Or will you be getting out of work and showing up later?

And Choda says he’ll be there so you guys can have a crack at the trophy:

  • Trophy goes to fastest (ET) NYSpeed member over the course of the day
  • Username & times get written on the trophy
  • Car must be registered & inspected (street cars only)
  • Winners must be NYSpeed members with X number of posts (no random “ringers” not from around here)
  • Winner gets to take home the trophy but must bring it to the next «OFFICIAL» drag day to defend it!

From my experiences they have been wanting helmets for anything 12.99 and below.

Any issue showing up around 6? Us 9-5 folk might be running a little behind

6

is there anyway I can stand between the two strips and take pictures? too soon?

On a serious note I might try and make it to this!

^^ lol

Gates open at 5:30pm so that’s why I hade that the time. I want to get there and stake a claim on the pavment, not the stone pits.

Yeah I’m going to have some terrible reaction times while I sort out my launch, lol

8

oh shit…i did get my new shocks in and i plan on turning it up tomorrow…

9

If I can get my POS tuned and sorted then I will be there. As of now its one issue after another though.

10

I may try to see how much slower I run on streets

11

You verses Jimshorts :tup:

12

That’s my b-day but I’ll probably be there on my motorbike. I’ll be leaving from main/transit at 5:30 for any other 9-5ers, or 8-530 in my case. I’ll be taking harris hill to genesee to 77 to 20 to 63.

13

Headcount / Reg Page is active for this now too :tup:

14

its meets like these that make me want to just throw a quick cage in the spyder now and not wait until next year! if only i knew id have the title for the coupe by then, I’d just bring that…

15

Will i get to run 1quickz?
